Day 3 of Event #38: $1,500 Monster Stack No-Limit Hold’em gets underway at 11 a.m. at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. There will be 416 competitors returning to contend for the coveted World Series of Poker Gold Bracelet and of course the first-place prize of $1,098,220 for the eventual winner.

United States’ own Vinicius Lima will begin the day as the chip leader, with 3,700,000 chips. He sits slightly ahead of Catalin Pop with 3,510,000. A first place score for either would be the biggest career win of their tournament lives.
